Earlier, Tiktok had a reign in India in the short video app, but after the ban last year, it is no longer present here. Apart from this, the company will also get a challenge from Instagram reel and Facebook video.

According to a recent report by Bain & Company, more than 200 million Indians have watched the short video at least once in 2020. This is the reason why other big companies are also trying to connect with people through this. Recently Flipkart has tied up with Moz app. The Moz app has over 160 million users. It has been told in this report that daily active users spend at least 45 minutes in a day on such apps. By 2025, 650 million Indian people are estimated to be connected to short video apps like this. The SFV market in India has grown by 3.5 times in terms of users, while the time spent on such apps has grown by 12 times. This is the reason that today the eyes of big companies are in this market. In view of this, Google has also launched its short video platform separately.
